Millennials, the generation of techies currently in their twenties and early thirties, are reshaping the way of travel. According to a survey commissioned by Chase Card Services, millennials are twice as likely to prefer Elite status as a benefit from their travel rewards program, compared to older travelers. And, when traveling for business, four in five millennial travelers are likely to extend their trips to include a personal vacation. If you’re a millennial traveler looking for ways to enjoy more benefits while traveling, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and travel enthusiast, Dhani Jones suggests using a card like Marriott Rewards Credit Card from Chase when you’re traveling. It rewards you with 5 points for every dollar you spend at any Marriott location and earns you 15 Elite status points each year. That way, you can accrue points faster to put towards your personal travel and enjoy more exclusive perks. To learn more, go to www.marriottpremier.com.
